    Your specialty is being emotionally over reactive and putting words in my mouth that I did not say.

    If you can’t see the literal language I quoted from the guardian article that was entirely omitted from the Amnesty blog post, and you don’t see what the problem is with treating Amnesty as journalism, than you are beyond redemption and your media literacy is just not adequate.

    And btw, Saudi Arabia is a great example of how your buddies in Hamas plan to rule over all of the Levant after for real genociding all the Jews and Christians and installing an Islamic caliphate: theocracies cannot be a legitimate source of human rights since any concept of religious law is entirely made up by the people in charge of it and anyone can claim to be the next prophet.

      1. Nothing in the Guardian article contradicts or discredits the Amnesty article, in fact it uses Amnesty as a source. You’ll notice how the HRW article the guardian also sources also doesn’t go into the details of the UN appointing Saudi Arabia. That’s because human rights organizations focus on reporting about human rights. The details of how the UN appointed Saudi Arabia despite their oppression of women, does not change the reality that Saudi Arabia oppresses women. The human rights organizations are reporting on that reality of oppression, because that’s the focus of a human rights organization.

      2. I support a One-State Solution with equal rights for both Israelis and Palestinians. Palestinians do have a right to armed resistance against Apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler Colonialism. Hostilities need to end.
